1. Dragonfly Restaurant - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA
+1-415-661-7755
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset
I first read about Dragonfly on SFist's 'Gastronomique Top 10 of The Year' where they lauded the shaking beef and quoted the SFBG food critic as saying, 'Dragonfly serves, in my view, the best contemporary Vietnamese cooking in the city.'
With that…More »
2. Golden Star Vietnamese Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94108
USA
+1-415-398-1215
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Very fresh, high quality Vietnamese. I came here for a late lunch today and ordered the bun cha gio- vermicelli noodles with imperial rolls- with BBQ pork.
The nuoc cham (dipping sauce made chiefly from fish sauce, chili peppers, sugar, lime or lemon…More »
3. Out the Door - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94103
USA
+1-415-541-9913
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
Thankfully, Out the Door's super close to Yelp HQ! On a recent visit to SF I went to Out the Door twice in less than a week.
Sometimes, when I lay in my bed in Washington, D.C. (a city nearly void of Vietnamese cuisine options), I dream about the…More »

My favorite Washingtonian whisked me away fleetingly on Friday for lunch here. I was relieved to… Read more »
4. Aux Delices Vietnamese Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94109
USA
+1-415-928-4977
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Nob Hill, Russian Hill
Aux Delices is wonderful and delicious!
We settled into one of their cozy booths and ordered the following: vegetarian banh chua (a tamarind-flavored soup that does an excellent job of combining sweet, hot, spicy and sour flavors), cha gio - imperial…More »
5. Cordon Bleu Vietnamese Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94109
USA
+1-415-673-5637
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Nob Hill
Bring cash and don't wear anything you aren't planning to launder in short order. You'll smell like your dinner long after it's finished but the meat sauce over rice alone is worth the stench!
If you're claustrophobic, don't eat meat or require a side…More »
6. Golden Deer Vietnamese Restaurant - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94118
USA
+1-415-751-8089
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
I quite like the pho broth at Golden Deer, tasty and made better by the addition of roasted garlic bits on top.
7. Sai's Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94111
USA
+1-415-362-3689
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Financial District
A bit of a hike from Huddle Room D but on cold days like the ones we've been experiencing lately nothing beats a steamy bowl of pho ga - even if it's a trek to get to.
This pho will require generous seasoning but I appreciate that the noodles aren't…More »
9. Miss Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant
Oakland, CA 94610
USA
+1-510-835-3474
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Caterers
Neighbourhoods: Grand Lake, Lower Hills
When I moved to the Bay Area seven years ago, this was the first restaurant I visited. Since then, I've kept going back. Great lunch specials, friendly owners, and often open late, Miss Saigon is a great pick for a neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant.…More »
10. Mangosteen
San Francisco, CA 94109
USA
+1-415-776-3999
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
Steve S. and I came here during the Yelp fieldtrip to Olive. It is a very bright and cheery place with friendly service and quotes on the wall. The Chao Gi (small fried egg rolls) was awesome and served in the traditional manner (with lettuce, herbs…More »
11. Turtle Tower Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94109
USA
+1-415-409-3333
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
Excellent pho for a low, low price.
A change if you're used to Southern Vietnamese style pho, but a nice departure still.
12. Golden Flower Vietnamese Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94133
USA
+1-415-433-6469
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Lettuce in pho is deeply disturbing to me. While nothing else was particularly wrong about my bowl of pho ga, it was tough to get over the lettuce. My dining partner was mistakenly given a bowl of seafood pho and we had to haggle with the server…More »
13. Miss SaiGon
It's been nearly two months since I dined here with colleagues and Miss Saigon's garlic noodles and shaking beef (bo luc lac) remain on my mind. The lunch specials are super generous and include soup and crab rangoon (there's something about cream…More »
14. Tin Vietnamese Cuisine
If you work in SoMa and dig Vietnamese food, Tin ought to be in your lunch rotation.
Their pho helped me deal with an unrelenting cold and I love that the menu's got a "green of the day with garlic" option. Having never met a green I didn't like I…More »
